Mr Heatherstone looked at the face and appeared much moved "Cover it up," said he, turning away; and then sitting down on a chair close to the table "And how was this found?" he said. "I neither saw this person killed nor the robber you first saw, but I heard the report of the firearms at almost the same moment, and I presume that they fell by each other's hands."
All this you have done without excuse, without provocation, at a time when he was pleading the cause of the helpless and distressed. Listen now to me, John Heatherstone. "When first the occult sciences were pursued many thousands of years ago, it was found by the learned that the short tenure of human existence was too limited to allow a man to attain the loftiest heights of inner life.
"And whose cottage is that? And who have you there?" "The cottage is mine, sir; two of the horses at the door belong to two troopers who have come in quest of those who fled from Worcester; the other horse belongs to the secretary of the Intendant of the forest, Mr Heatherstone, who has come over with directions from the Intendant as to the capture of the rebels."
Once Mr Heatherstone asked Edward whether he would not like to go out with Oswald to kill a deer, which he did; but the venison was hardly yet in season.
"You forget that I am only a forester, Clara," replied Edward, with a grave smile. "No, you are a secretary now," replied Clara. "Mistress Patience is older than you by several years. I call you Clara, because you are but a little girl; but I must not take that liberty with Mistress Heatherstone." "Do you think so, Patience?" said Clara.
I told him about Corbould and his attempt upon you, and he was very wroth. I never saw him moved before; and young Mistress Patience, she was indeed angry and perplexed, and begged her father to send the assailant away as soon as he could be moved." "Master Heatherstone replied, `Leave it to me, my dear; and then asked me what account Corbould gave of himself, and his falling into the pit.
I have obliged him in the service I rendered his daughter, and he is grateful." Perhaps, had Edward put the question to himself, "Should I have been on such friendly terms with the Intendant should I have accepted his offer, if there had been no Patience Heatherstone?" he might then have discovered what was the "spell upon him" which had rendered him so tractable; but of that he had no idea.
"And how about Gabriel and Mrs. Heatherstone?" I asked. "Can we not bring them down from the Hall at once? Your poor sister must be distracted with terror." "She knows nothing of it," Mordaunt answered. "She sleeps at the other side of the house, and has not heard or seen anything.
At this moment Edward came out and saluted the officer. "This is the secretary, sir, Master Armitage," said Humphrey, falling back. Edward saluted the officer, and said "Mr Heatherstone, the Intendant, has sent me over here to make arrangements for the capture of the rebels.
Edward took up the letter, in which the Parliament informed Mr Heatherstone that his application for the property of Arnwood had been acceded to, and signed by the Commissioners; and that he might take immediate possession. Edward turned pale as he laid the document down on the table. "We will ride to-morrow, Edward, and look it over. I intend to rebuild the house." Edward made no reply.
